Last Night's Event at Books and Books in Coral Gables
Sunday 27 July 2008 at 9:29 pm.Last night I did my first bookstore event on Beyond Revenge at Books and Books in Coral Gables. It was really fun!
Books and Books is an oasis for books and culture in Miami. In fact, Bill Clinton spoke there not too long ago, and Garrison Keillor will be there in a couple of months. So as I told the audience, they could go home after my presentation and, without exaggerating, report to their friends and family that I had been "somewhere between Bill Clinton and Garrison Keillor."
I feel honored that I was given the opportunity to tell people a bit about Beyond Revenge and why I wanted to write it. Lots of good questions after the presentation, which I am still thinking about today.
So thanks to all of you for spending your Saturday evening with me!
By the way, today Thierry Tamers sent me this article from the New York Times from a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how I missed it, although I wasn't reading the paper very carefully while I was in Amsterdam. This story is really relevant to how revenge is still practiced today in many parts of the world. Well worth a read, and very similar to some of the dynamics I discuss in Beyond Revenge.
Off now to mess around with with my Amazon Kindle, which I received today as a present for my 39th birthday, which was today.
